Hi i'm Jayne & am a parent to 5 children my eldest is 20 & doesn't live at home anymore.
I have 4 living at home who are lana 15, cj 13 ,dex 11 & logan 8. Two of my boys cj & logan are being assessed for aspegers which has been a huge battle to get someone to listen. Logan also has problems with his bowel & has very dry skin due to all the bathing & showering.

I'm so glad to have found this forum as already i've been given support
Thank you

i have 2children one is 2 1/2 (Khian) he suffers from a very rare disorder called Zellwegger Syndrom, this effects his eyesight, hearing, epilepsy, hypermobility,he has no speech. i particuarly find it difficult going out and talking to other people as i dont like to feel sorry for myself, i love khian a huge amount and think that is all that matters although my life has just become a little harder as we have had my second son Marlei his is just 8weeks old and so far doesnt have problems so fingerscrossed he is all okay.

Families who have children and young people with special needs very often deal with similar life styles.
We have all had concerns ranging from education,access to services,respite and other issues directly related to disabled children's special needs.

Parents of disabled children bring families together for friendship, to share information, and to support one another.
The forum was created by parents who have children with special needs and is run by parents so we are all in this together.

With us you will realise you are not alone.

Parents of disabled children launched in October 2009 and provides an extensive resource of information and a great place to ask any questions.
